How to Save on Veterinary Costs at PatterPaws Animal Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.

Consider pet insurance

We used to go to another Vet in the area but with our new Cane Corso we wanted to try another place. PatterPaws came highly recommended. 8 of 10 people that responded recommended PatterPaws and I can see why. Professional, friendly, kind and very fair pricing. They love Thanos there and are so good to him. I highly recommend PatterPaws if looking for a local Vet. Also great that they are literally 5 minutes from my home. The staff and Vets are great and kind. Offer great advice.

Finally had the HONOR to check out and try PatterPaws for my furry child’s annual checkup. What an incredible experience from the moment you make your appointment til the moment you leave! I walked in for the first time for my dog’s appointment and all they needed to do was roll out the red carpet because the welcoming treatment here was on another level. I walked in, there weren’t any people in the reception area and instantly one of the vet techs knew exactly who I had with me and was ready to show me to one of the exam rooms. I was like, is my dog secretly famous!??? Pup got a little puparazzi moment **eeeeeeeek**. Yes, here at PatterPaws they take their lil profile pic! Dr Proto was so down to earth and both him and the vet tech made my dog feel at ease. All dogs shake and get nervous when going to the vet (I feel like us humans do the same IRL with doctors we just shake inside HA!) but they totally made him be less stressed out than he should be. Also, they weren’t scared to approach him (a little 7lb guy) they just confidently went in with calm and I’ve never seen my dog this chill at the vet before, almost zero yapping. Ok fine, maybe at the end he barked at another dog haha but he did pretty great! He got his **seamless** rabies shot and didn’t even feel it or let out a little yelp like he usually does. Again, amazing Dr and vet tech. Pretty awesome tip: Dr Proto’s wife, Dr Will, does a mix of western and eastern medicine and provides acupuncture to dogs, cats and horses. You can really tell the energy of this place by the workers and how they’re happy to be there with the animal and to really take care of yours, no matter the size. Ok also, can we talk about the cookie bar (for doggies) with the different sizes of treats? OBSESSED. Thanks PatterPaws for your kindness, attention to detail, and wonderful staff! You’ve already made us feel at home :)

I'm new to the area and visited this vet for the first time recently. I was SO PLEASED with the entire experience that I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone who's asking. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly; I was brought into the exam room right away; The technician was kind and caring; The wait for the veterinarian was minimal; The veterinarian was extremely personable and knowledgeable, and she listened to all of my concerns; AND the bill was reasonable. While I haven't needed an emergency appointment yet, I was told they make it a priority to be seen within 24-48 hours, which is very important. Highly recommend!

I had my first visit to Patterpaws today, and all I can say is the entire experience for me and especially my Lilli (Minpin), was nothing more than an A+. From the Receptionist, to the Vet Tech, (who's name I didn't get), to Dr. Will. Everyone was so nice, and Dr. Will answered all my questions. Not once did I feel rushed and was in a cattle call. Excellent Vetinary Clinic, if you're looking for one. I left my old Vet because I wasn't happy anymore. So if you're new to town or looking for awesome pet care, Patterpaws is the place to go.
